Answer:

- The name for the potassium oxide's structure is ionic.

Properties:

- High melting point.

- Soluble in water.

Explanation:

- The ionic structure it is formed by a cation (atom with positive charge) and an anion (atom with negative charge). In this case, potassium is the cation and the oxigen is the anion.

- Since potassium oxide is an ionic compound, it has a high melting point, because of the strong bonds. Also, it is soluble in polar solvents, like water, because its ions generate polarity in the molecule.

A new element (solid at room temperature) is discovered that has:

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

A metalloid is a substance that has both the qualities of a metal and a non metal. Metals conduct electricity and have a high melting point.The element described does not conduct electricity until temperatures are reduced therefore it is not a metal. The fact that conduction occurs when temperatures are reduced means that it is not a non metal because non metals do not conduct electricity at all. Therefore the element is a metaloid because it exhibits some properties of a metal and others of a non mental.
